Dover-Eyota-Elgin-St. Charles-Utica-Home: 62.06 miles
Comments: Ride Time was 4 hours 49 minutes, average speed: 12.8
We finally had a day with no worries. We could head out knowing we had the whole day to ride without interference. We decided to revisit the Tri-County Trail. We were biking down our driveway by 9:00 a.m. and enjoying the tailwind as we continued towards Eyota.

We finally had a day with no worries. We could head out knowing we had the whole day to ride without interference. We decided to revisit the Tri-County Trail. We were biking down our driveway by 9:00 a.m. and enjoying the tailwind as we continued towards Eyota.
Outside of Eyota, we picked up the Tri-County Trail and continued on the trail until we reached Elgin. We chatted with other bikers as we pedaled towards Elgin making the trail miles go by very quickly. We reached Elgin a bit too early for lunch so decided to extend our ride to Utica where Brewskies was sure to have a hearty lunch and cold beverages to help chill us on what became a very hot biking day. It’s amazing how the heat affects energy levels.
After our Brewskies break, the cyclocomputer on the bike registered 102° and we were really feeling it. We had to keep reminding ourselves that we were almost home. The last half of our ride was also plagued with high winds forcing us to keep the pedals turning even on the downhill glides. Our ride was a challenge today but the effort was worth it.
